Summary: Silent mode for installation

Initial Comment:
I think ability to create unattended/silent installation 
could be really great. Define what you want install 
(Outlook plugin only), where you want to install it, what 
will be the names of Spam and Suspected spam mail 
directories etc.

I believe you can actually do some of this already with the
Inno installer.

You can use "/SP", "/SILENT", "/VERYSILENT",
"/SUPPRESSMSGBOXES" to be silent, for example, and there are
also options for selecting components.  The Inno website
probably has a list, or I can put one somewhere (it's in the
Inno help).

You're most welcome to do so, of course!

If you're willing to, then submitting any created script
back to the project as a patch would be gratefully received.

Hi anadelonbrin!

The main point is to make SpamBayes useful for organizations. 
With need of manual install it is almost useless for mass 
deployment :( I will try to create .msi file if U dont mind

You could do some of this yourself.  If you install it once,
you'll have the necessary files, which you can copy to the
appropriate place with a script.  To register the addin, you
can get the script to run the outlook_addin_register.exe
file, which will do the registration.  That should be all
you need to do the install.

Configuring SpamBayes is a bit trickier.  You can easily
manually create the configuration file (the *.ini file in
the data directory), and it's easy to enter in any of the
options except for folders.

Folders are difficult because they are not specified by
name, but by Outlook's store & entry ids (open up a *.ini
file and take a look).  Given that you'd have to specify
these anyway, I'm not sure what the benefit of doing this
outside of the Wizard would be.
